Awards season is moving full speed ahead. There is a debate will Alfonso Cuarón win three, four or five Oscars for ''Roma''. Can Roma become the first foreign language film to win Best Picture at the Oscars? In their 90-year history, the Academy Awards have never seen a Best Picture winner in any language other than English. I went into this movie with great expectations after reading all of these articles. But I ended up hugely disappointed.
Roma is being called director Alfonso Cuarón's masterpiece. Yes, it has extraordinary cinematography and some of the shots are awe-inspiring. I respect the really long single shots, but other then the great technical stuff it was pretty boring. Keep waiting for it to build to some kind of a climax or a twist or something and it never did. I sincerely tried to get into this movie, but I was bored throughout the film.
